INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN

Cinemavixion Review

Jack Pollexfen's "Indestructible Man" plunges viewers into a chilling tale of resurrected vengeance, anchored by a compelling performance from Lon Chaney Jr. as the titular "Butcher" Benton. Told through the eyes of detective Dick Chasen, the narrative unfolds as Benton, a recently executed convict, is reanimated by a mad scientist. This revival grants him superhuman strength and near-invulnerability, setting the stage for a brutal quest against those who betrayed him. The film masterfully blends elements of crime noir with burgeoning sci-fi horror, creating a unique atmosphere. While the special effects may reflect its 1956 origins, the film's core themes of retribution and the consequences of greed remain potent. Chaney Jr. embodies Benton's monstrous transformation with palpable intensity, making this a memorable entry in the B-movie horror canon, ripe for rediscovery.
